one star because I can’t give it 0 . horrible writing and storytelling, very obvious torture porn, does not trust audience, if you want an example of how bad the writing is, it will put very obvious and very bad metaphors in your face and proceed to explain what they are metaphors or symbolism for, literally sometimes using phrases like “it was a symbol for _”. gained nothing from reading this. I feel dumber. obviously really gross and shocking but somehow also uninteresting in its gore.
edit I really need to add that this was genuinely the worst book I’ve ever read and I literally created this goodreads account to give it 1 star

YES. I think it’s very telling that most of his other work features around sexual abuse. Writing about children was a very bad decision for him.
